A Comprehensive Overview on 5G-And-Beyond Networks with Uavs 1 A Comprehensive Overview on 5G-and-Beyond Networks with UAVs: From Communications to Sensing and Intelligence Qingqing Wu, Jie Xu, Yong Zeng, Derrick Wing Kwan Ng, Naofal Al-Dhahir, Robert Schober, and A. Lee Swindlehurst Abstract—Due to the advancements in cellular technologies intelligence is also essential for 5G-and-beyond 3D heterogeneous and the dense deployment of cellular infrastructure, integrating wireless networks with coexisting aerial and ground users. In unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into the fifth-generation (5G) this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the latest and beyond cellular networks is a promising solution to achieve research efforts on integrating UAVs into cellular networks, safe UAV operation as well as enabling diversified applications with an emphasis on how to exploit advanced techniques (e.g., with mission-specific payload data delivery. In particular, 5G intelligent reflecting surface, short packet transmission, energy networks need to support three typical usage scenarios, namely, harvesting, joint communication and radar sensing, and edge enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency intelligence) to meet the diversified service requirements of next- communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communi- generation wireless systems.

It has been identified by the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a new service type to be supported by the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. However, due to the ex- plosive growth of M2M markets, thousands of Machine-Type Devices (MTDs), e.g., sensors and actuators, will be deployed in each LTE cell. With many MTDs attempting to initiate connections with the network, the deluge of access requests will cause severe congestion with intoler- ably low access efficiency. How to efficiently accommodate the access of a massive number of MTDs has become a significant challenge for supporting M2M communications over LTE networks. A great deal of works have been done for modeling and evaluating the access performance of M2M communications in LTE networks. The existing models, however, either ignore the queueing behavior of each MTD or become unscalable in the massive access scenario, making it extremely difficult to further study how to optimize the access perfor- mance by properly tuning system parameters, e.g., backoff parameters. The crucial effect of data transmissions on the access performance of MTDs is also little understood.
